Reviews for this host's other properties

+Location Top (close to subway stations, grocery shops, bars, restaurants...we loved the neighbourhood
+size of studio suficcient... not mega big, but has everything we needed (looks slightly more spacious on fotos
+ communication with Haly super easy, all worked well
+super clean

- for us the matress was too small and too soft
- you hear every step of the neighbour above (starting at 6am in the morning... you don't hear any traffic though)

The apt was perfect for our needs. Halyna and Rena (cleaning lady) was very helpful in meeting us and arranging us extra baby cot and a extra bed.

The street is great, many nice restaurants and stores, with some of the owners we even become very friendly and are still staying in touch after we have left. the streets near by are all filled with restaurants Very close to the L train, which takes youbto williamsburg in one stop and the 6 and NR train, so very good subway connections. There's also a bus 14 takes us to lower east side.

A very big plus point for us was the park in 1 min walking distance with a big, great playground, where my kids spend a lot of time in it.

The apt itself is much larger than the pictures would let you think. This one specifically is a bit dark, but since we are hardly at home the daytime, that wasn't a problem at all.

The only small problem we had was the internet, it was extremely slow. Haly was very helpful and reacted overtime right after my text massage, and was willing to getting a new line for our apt. But since we were only staying for one month, we didn't wanted to bother her too much with that. For checking mails was ok, but for searching something or watching film it was difficult.

The apt was a typical New Yorker apt, everything was a bit old and has their small issues, but everything has worked. It was usual loud for a downtown apt, my kids and I slept well, even with the noises.

She is very good reachable and for the meetings and returning the keys wasn't a problem at all.

All in all we would definitely stay with her again, if we happen to be in New York.

East Village is a young and dynamic neighborhood full of fancy dining spots and vintage shops.
NoLiTa, Soho and all the others cool downtown hoods can be reached by walking.
Apartment's close to 2 bus lines and three different subway lines stations.

Good points location, host available and price. Bad points very old Apartament in and out, there is no a proper restroom but a sink plus shower separated with a tent in the" kitchen"and the wc in front of the entrance...the moquette looks old and bed sheets syntetic and uncomfortble. On the whole, seen location and price...you cannot expect better

A Unfortunately we had a very bad experience with Halyna however all these good reviews. Due to a strike we had 3 hours of delay, we timely informed halyna about it and we agree with her to call her after our landing in NY. As communicated some days before Halyna wouldn't stayed in Ny the day of our arrival then she guaranteed that her cleaning lady would came to meet us for the key, we asked for her number but halyna was disagreed and she asked to call her as intermediate. As agreed we informed her first in the airport and then we called her when we got the taxi in the city center, but no answer for 3 hours,we were waiting street in front of the building and after 3 hours (it was 10 pm and it was dark) we were hopeless and we decided to look for a new apartment so we moved in a cheaper area in the north. So many sms calls and messages but she answered after so many hours but the worst was that she was angry with us because instead of staying close to the apartment we moved. Probably her apologies would had mitigated the stress we passed but she didn't. We decided to stay in her apartment only because windu was not answering to the customer service. In conclusion if this is the professionalism, respect and availability to our people coming from the other part of the world never ever halyna and wimdu. Furthermore the sheets were dirty full of hair and we asked for a change that she provided the day after. Obviously we never met halyna but only her cleaning lady. Small apartment, noisy during the night the only good thing was the area in E9th.

The apartment was rather small but totally sufficient for a city trip. It was clean and quiet. It is situated in the heart of East Village and there were a lot of nice restaurants, bars and cafes just nearby. Felt like whe would never need to leave that area haha.
Public transport was also near and both Manhattan and Brooklyn could be reached very good.

The owner has no office or trusted person for the handing over of the keys, which is a bit of a problem when your plane is late or to give back the keys on the last day.
The bathroom and kitchen were clean but the fitted carpet in the bedrooms hadn't been vacuum-cleaned (there were traces of the tenants before us and dust had accumulated along the walls -photos on request-).
Bed sheets in nylon or a nylon-cotton blend.
The area is very pleasant, lively, well located.

We had a great time at Haly's place. Everything is at a walking distance. Thompkins park is a refreshing place for both adults and children. The neighbourhood is pleasant and lively.
Haly is a great host. I would definitely recommend the appartment which is roomy and perfect for up to 5 guests.

Apartment on the fourth floor without a lift and with a single flight of stairs to the floor so very steep and high steps. Not suitable for more than 20 years.
WiFi, when there was, slowly the 90 is not suitable for young people who want to play around on social, some big and some insect mouse (it is New York)
